	9:51am People Like Us: ↳ Charlie @9:31 All around - but it could be that the Drummer Stream is a lower volume than the terrestrial WFMU stream
	9:52am chresti: Morning TDK60. It is good digging deep into knots of pain.
	👻 9:54am doctorjazz: Announcements sounded OK on this end.

	10:20am Polyus: I don't know how many people caught that episode of 60 Minutes detailing his final performance with Lady Gaga, but it was really amazing. He sang those old songs so well and with such joy and yet had no recollection of even having been there a day or two later. Memory is such a complicated thing, I saw this firsthand with my own dad.
	10:20am Mxter Baba: omx I think I went to Organ Grinder Pizza when I was a wee child!

	10:28am βrian: Well hey, Charlie. Don't you wish you were back in Keene? Hello from the isthmus.

	10:35am WR: Though this "Got" set is female swing oriented, when I heard your lead in, Something You Got is what came to mind.
	10:35am Mxter Baba: ↳ chresti @10:33 chrestikinnnssss!!
	10:37am Charlie: Hi Judy, βrian!
	10:37am Charlie: ↳ βrian @10:28 New Hampshire good, Arizona also good!

	10:53am Charlie: right-o
	👻 10:53am doctorjazz: OK, GOT to go, thanks again! (Was also wondering what was before, and after, the Beatles...).
	10:54am βrian: ↳ doctorjazz @10:53 Are you stateside now?

	11:10am Marie in Queens: Oh, hey Charlie. Things are lush and green and active, as per usual. Lots o' people doing lot's o' things. That's the best thing about Queens--the peeps. How did you end up in Tucson? (I've heard good things about it.)

	👻 11:11am doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:07 Don't finish off all the lobster...
	11:12am Marie in Queens: This track is amazing too.
	11:12am Marie in Queens: This and the last song are like a soul bath
	11:13am βrian: Lobster bisque with tarragon and popovers for lunch, folks.
	11:13am StringOFperils: I saw Najma when she toured that LP. Good show.
	11:13am Marie in Queens: ↳ StringOFperils @11:13 I bet. Sounds wonderful
	11:14am Charlie: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:10 Long long story how I ended up here! But I am liking it:) I miss NYC though, although I spent 14 yrs in New England in between.
	11:15am Marie in Queens: yeah, mm hm. Glad ur liking it. I love NYC so much but I think it is too much urban density for me
	11:16am Doug Schulkind: @Marie in Queens Having a wildly peaceful time. Seen three foxes in the last few days. Life is good when you see foxes.
	11:16am βrian: And here I thought you meant Queens, West Virginia!

	11:20am spodiodi: good morning, Charlie! good morning, all
	11:20am Charlie: heya, spodiodi:)
	11:21am Sem: ↳ spodiodi @11:20 Yo, S'po!
	11:21am Zipperhead7: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:15 I was talking with friends last night about NYC cab drivers, and recalled a wild ride several years ago, where the driver was blasting Manu Dibango and practically had the car up on two wheels, missing parked cars by inches and never dropping below 40 mph. At the end of the ride, I complimented him. "I am from Cameroun and I am a fucking WARRIOR, man!" he said. "At home there is everything in the road. Everything! Here there are lanes and lights. It is too easy. I cut through this city like a hot knife through butter!" I gave him a $50 tip.
	11:21am Marie in Queens: I just watched this documentary about David Johansen last night (directed by Martin Scorcese). Very enjoyable
	11:22am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:20 Greetings Andrew in Toronto! @)
	11:24am spodiodi: ↳ Sem @11:21 yo ho, S'em!
	11:25am Marie in Queens: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 I love it. That is a great story. I always enjoyed (and was slightly scared) thrilling cab rides (have had a few more ordinary ones that involved extremely high speeds down avenues in the city on a green light flow. (Since they started enforcing speed now, you don't see as much of that now)
	11:26am 1MT: Gotta go, Charlie, but I had a great time. Diggin you, diggin you!
	11:27am Marie in Queens: Hey Spod
	11:28am Uncle Michael: Please consider joining me for Hinky Dinly Time at the top of the hour. There are worse things you could do. wfmu.org...
	11:28am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @11:24 hey spodi!
	11:28am Charlie: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 Great story! My most terrifying cab ride was in central NJ, when the cab came too late to get us to the train station, so ran on back roads to get us to the next station before the train, like some kind of Dukes of Hazard ride.
	11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:25 Sleeping pups: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marie in Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:28 Oh, I'm so happy you're back! Yay!
	11:29am spodiodi: hey Marie in Queens, Andrew in Toronto!
	11:31am listener james from westwood: Never a bad day for Gil!
	11:31am Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:29 Thank you, Marie.
	11:31am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 OMG. Soooo cute. And I was surprised to see that it is live. That makes it even more special. Great channel to bookmark and visit regularly. Thanks, Andrew!
	11:32am frenchee: Love GSH’s voice
	11:33am Marie in Queens: I saw GSH in London once. I was visiting and met some really cool peeps and they had an extra ticket (!)
	11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:31 You`re welcome.
	11:36am StringOFperils: Once, as a tourist, waiting for the light to change, in a knotted group of weary folks going to work at 8 in the morning, somewhere in midtown Manhattan, a hurtling yellow cab totally nailed an elderly woman who had entered the crosswalk on the other side, and she actual flew past us in a long arc, like a limp crash-test dummy, turfing across the asphalt and coming to rest. Momentarily, for she got up and began to walk away! Until the horrified cab-driver ran to her, and prevented her from going anywhere. We all winced, collectively, and were stunned. The speed was incredible and so was the unspeakable absurdity of the violence. It's an adventure in the world of the New York taxicab, but the risk is real.
	11:36am Dean: Heading to LA next week, precisely when a gallery exhibition of Horace Tapscott archival material will be mounted! The Pan Afrikan Arkestra will play, but alas, it will be on the day we depart.
	11:38am northguineahills: oy, made it!
	11:39am northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 SoP, your username checks out today!
	11:41am StringOFperils: *forgive my grammatical errors; it was a shock to re-live that, ngh
	11:41am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @11:39 Are you watching the women`s World Cup?
	11:41am WR: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 oh, haven't seen the Johansen doc yet. Todd on WFMU on Saturdays did interview with Johansen when it was first released. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am rw: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Whoa. Crazy (and well told). I hope the lady was okay.
	11:43am StringOFperils: ↳ rw @11:42 No way. I remember quietly giving her 'til about 3 pm
	11:43am Charlie: Here's the link for Hinky Dinky time with Uncle Michael, to follow this show: wfmu.org...
	11:44am rw: Ugh. Now I'm in shock.
	11:45am StringOFperils: Felt bad for everybody all around. A PTSD moment. Probably should have kept that to myself. It was just the bravado of the other cabbie in the above story....
	11:49am chresti: My taxi ride was on the way to Negril from Montego Bay airport. Very busy 2 lane rd with the driver playing chicken whenever passing cars- pulled over to buy ganga and chat up the dealer on the roadside..luckily we weren't in a hurry
	11:49am headcleaner: Charlie!
	11:50am Charlie: hey, headcleaner!
	11:50am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Charlie @11:50 What a fantastic show! Thanks Charlie!
	👻 11:51am doctorjazz: Back for the finale!
	11:51am northguineahills: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:41 yes, i have never missed a game since its inception in '99...
	11:51am Charlie: ↳ Dean @11:36 I was in L.A. a couple weeks ago. Saw Le Tigre at the Greek Theater, and some amazingly powerful art at LACMA.
	11:51am bobdc: Near the end of "Keep on Going" (What a vocal from Christine! And what amazing strings!) there were about two bars that I know have been sample by a big hiphop hit sometime, but it wasn't the Tokyo band with two entries at www.whosampled.com... Did anyone else recognize it?

	11:10am Marie in Queens: Oh, hey Charlie. Things are lush and green and active, as per usual. Lots o' people doing lot's o' things. That's the best thing about Queens--the peeps. How did you end up in Tucson? (I've heard good things about it.)

	11:15am Marie in Queens: yeah, mm hm. Glad ur liking it. I love NYC so much but I think it is too much urban density for me
	11:16am Doug Schulkind: @Marie in Queens Having a wildly peaceful time. Seen three foxes in the last few days. Life is good when you see foxes.

	11:20am spodiodi: good morning, Charlie! good morning, all
	11:20am Charlie: heya, spodiodi:)
	11:21am Sem: ↳ spodiodi @11:20 Yo, S'po!
	11:21am Zipperhead7: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:15 I was talking with friends last night about NYC cab drivers, and recalled a wild ride several years ago, where the driver was blasting Manu Dibango and practically had the car up on two wheels, missing parked cars by inches and never dropping below 40 mph. At the end of the ride, I complimented him. "I am from Cameroun and I am a fucking WARRIOR, man!" he said. "At home there is everything in the road. Everything! Here there are lanes and lights. It is too easy. I cut through this city like a hot knife through butter!" I gave him a $50 tip.
	11:21am Marie in Queens: I just watched this documentary about David Johansen last night (directed by Martin Scorcese). Very enjoyable
	11:22am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:20 Greetings Andrew in Toronto! @)
	11:24am spodiodi: ↳ Sem @11:21 yo ho, S'em!
	11:25am Marie in Queens: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 I love it. That is a great story. I always enjoyed (and was slightly scared) thrilling cab rides (have had a few more ordinary ones that involved extremely high speeds down avenues in the city on a green light flow. (Since they started enforcing speed now, you don't see as much of that now)
	11:26am 1MT: Gotta go, Charlie, but I had a great time. Diggin you, diggin you!
	11:27am Marie in Queens: Hey Spod
	11:28am Uncle Michael: Please consider joining me for Hinky Dinly Time at the top of the hour. There are worse things you could do. wfmu.org...
	11:28am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @11:24 hey spodi!
	11:28am Charlie: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:21 Great story! My most terrifying cab ride was in central NJ, when the cab came too late to get us to the train station, so ran on back roads to get us to the next station before the train, like some kind of Dukes of Hazard ride.
	11:29am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:25 Sleeping pups: www.youtube.com...
	11:29am Marie in Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @11:28 Oh, I'm so happy you're back! Yay!
	11:29am spodiodi: hey Marie in Queens, Andrew in Toronto!
	11:31am listener james from westwood: Never a bad day for Gil!
	11:31am Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:29 Thank you, Marie.
	11:31am Marie in Queens: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:29 OMG. Soooo cute. And I was surprised to see that it is live. That makes it even more special. Great channel to bookmark and visit regularly. Thanks, Andrew!
	11:32am frenchee: Love GSH’s voice
	11:33am Marie in Queens: I saw GSH in London once. I was visiting and met some really cool peeps and they had an extra ticket (!)
	11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:31 You`re welcome.
	11:36am StringOFperils: Once, as a tourist, waiting for the light to change, in a knotted group of weary folks going to work at 8 in the morning, somewhere in midtown Manhattan, a hurtling yellow cab totally nailed an elderly woman who had entered the crosswalk on the other side, and she actual flew past us in a long arc, like a limp crash-test dummy, turfing across the asphalt and coming to rest. Momentarily, for she got up and began to walk away! Until the horrified cab-driver ran to her, and prevented her from going anywhere. We all winced, collectively, and were stunned. The speed was incredible and so was the unspeakable absurdity of the violence. It's an adventure in the world of the New York taxicab, but the risk is real.
	11:36am Dean: Heading to LA next week, precisely when a gallery exhibition of Horace Tapscott archival material will be mounted! The Pan Afrikan Arkestra will play, but alas, it will be on the day we depart.
	11:38am northguineahills: oy, made it!
	11:39am northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 SoP, your username checks out today!
	11:41am StringOFperils: *forgive my grammatical errors; it was a shock to re-live that, ngh
	11:41am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @11:39 Are you watching the women`s World Cup?
	11:41am WR: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 oh, haven't seen the Johansen doc yet. Todd on WFMU on Saturdays did interview with Johansen when it was first released. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am rw: ↳ StringOFperils @11:36 Whoa. Crazy (and well told). I hope the lady was okay.
	11:43am StringOFperils: ↳ rw @11:42 No way. I remember quietly giving her 'til about 3 pm
	11:43am Charlie: Here's the link for Hinky Dinky time with Uncle Michael, to follow this show: wfmu.org...
	11:44am rw: Ugh. Now I'm in shock.
	11:45am StringOFperils: Felt bad for everybody all around. A PTSD moment. Probably should have kept that to myself. It was just the bravado of the other cabbie in the above story....
	11:49am chresti: My taxi ride was on the way to Negril from Montego Bay airport. Very busy 2 lane rd with the driver playing chicken whenever passing cars- pulled over to buy ganga and chat up the dealer on the roadside..luckily we weren't in a hurry
	11:49am headcleaner: Charlie!

	11:51am Charlie: ↳ Dean @11:36 I was in L.A. a couple weeks ago. Saw Le Tigre at the Greek Theater, and some amazingly powerful art at LACMA.
	11:51am bobdc: Near the end of "Keep on Going" (What a vocal from Christine! And what amazing strings!) there were about two bars that I know have been sample by a big hiphop hit sometime, but it wasn't the Tokyo band with two entries at www.whosampled.com... Did anyone else recognize it?
	11:52am northguineahills: luckily, i have access to the replays so i don't have to see every game live w/ it being aotearoa/oz. (men's wc 2002 in Japan/Korea was interesting watching live).
	11:52am Dean: I haven't been to LACMA or MOMA in so long! But heading out today to SF's Legion of Honor for The Tudors exhibit. First of several visits, I hope.
	11:52am northguineahills: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @11:41 (watching spain/costa rica now.., saw nigeria/canada last night [0-0])
	11:53am Uncle Michael: This has been a treat, Charlie. Be back again soon, please.
